Connect your Bluesky account

Bluesky uses a simple "app password" instead of OAuth. You generate one inside Bluesky's settings, paste it on ScanRaise, done. App passwords are limited - they can post on your behalf but cannot change your account settings or read your DMs.

Important: do NOT use your real account password.

Use Bluesky's App passwords feature. App passwords are revocable and limited; your real account password should never leave bsky.app.

Step 1: Generate a Bluesky app password

  1. Go to bsky.app and sign in with your org's account.
  2. Click your avatar → Settings (gear icon).
  3. Scroll to Privacy and Security.
  4. Click App Passwords.
  5. Click Add App Password. Name it something like "ScanRaise".
  6. Bluesky shows a string of letters and dashes (e.g. abcd-efgh-ijkl-mnop). Copy it now - it only shows once.

Step 2: Connect on ScanRaise

  1. Go to your org's Social accounts page (Dashboard → your org → Social).
  2. On the Bluesky card, type your handle (e.g. greenwoodpta.bsky.social).
  3. Paste the app password.
  4. Click Connect Bluesky. You should see a green "Connected" pill.

Common gotchas

What is my handle?
It is your Bluesky username, including the domain. If you signed up the standard way, it ends in .bsky.social (e.g. greenwoodpta.bsky.social). If you set a custom domain, use that.
The app password did not work.
Bluesky app passwords are case-sensitive and include the dashes. Easiest is to copy-paste rather than retype. If still failing, generate a fresh one.
How do I revoke a connected app password?
Go back to bsky.app → Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords, click the trash icon next to "ScanRaise". The connection on our side will start failing - reconnect with a new app password whenever you want.
Will my posts say "via ScanRaise"?
No. Posts go out natively from your handle, no app attribution.
